The Jewish people had many thoughts about what God did or did not do on the Sabbath. Yes, His word says that on the seventh day he rested and that he hallowed that day, but they also knew that God must maintain his creation. Some believed that he renewed his creation every day. Some looked upon his miracles, and said that God continued to work, he continued to judge, and he had every right to do what he wanted to do on the Sabbath. This is what Jesus was claiming. He was saying that God, his Father was the one who did the miracle on the Sabbath day. But it was not just that he said that God was working. He said, “My Father is working, and I too am working.”
